Fundraising
Our annual 5K & Fun Run is a cornerstone of Hope Water Project’s awareness and fundraising efforts for the year. We are asking that participants either donate or commit to fundraising for this amazing cause. Multiply your impact by setting up a fundraising page and inviting the support of your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. You never know who may feel the nudge to support you and your cause, people in your community do not mind ‘the ask’. Through clean water we are helping to raise up families, churches, schools, gardens, and flocks. Clean water is only the beginning!
